About the event: Lord Moyne was the senior British official responsible for the Middle East during World War II. A member of Prime Minister Winston Churchill's cabinet, he was also one of Churchill's oldest friends and closest political allies. On November 6, 1944 he was assassinated by two gunmen. Moyne's murder remains mostly forgotten or ignored. But, it had far-reaching consequences: extinguishing a key opportunity to resolve Palestine's political future at an especially opportune moment and consigning a region and its people to seemingly perennial conflict.
